Chapter 375 For Lin Fengxiang, what he is facing is not just a problem of preparing his own food and grass for the nearly 200,000 Celestial Empire Red Army army

In fact, this "General Mao" is not surnamed Mao at all, and naturally he is not Zhu Xikun's assistant, he is the commander of the Red 14th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - Zou Guojian.

Since he was in charge of the Red Fourteenth Army, Zou Guojian has made great gains in several battles in Shaanxi and Gansu to quell the rebellion, however, as soon as he entered Xinjiang, Zou Guojian felt that his "bad luck" had come.

Fighting Turpan and encircling Dihua, it seems that Zou Guojian and his Red 14th Army will not lose in these two battles, but if you seriously break your fingers and settle the accounts, it is the officers and soldiers of the Red 14th Army who have long been suffocated, and Zou Guojian, who has always been known for his calmness, is very aggrieved.

The reason is very simple, Zou Guojian and his officers and soldiers did not catch a real battle.

When the siege of Dihua came to an end, and the Red Fourteenth Army finally got the task of taking the lead in advancing westward among all the participating troops outside Dihua City, Zou Guojian, like his officers and soldiers, was ecstatic for a long time.

Unfortunately, although they couldn't have run any faster, the end result was only sad. The smoke of the great battle in Tarbagatai is beginning to dissipate, and the large group of rebel troops in the Ili region have long since disappeared.

At the moment when Zou Guojian and the officers and men of the 14th Red Army were feeling overwhelmed, they received an order from the headquarters of the Red First Army, which is now the Northwest Military and Political Office of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, that made them even more anxious to hit the wall -- the Red 14th Army was about to join the sequence of the Northwest Agricultural Reclamation Corps and become the 14th Agricultural Army, and the most important glorious task in the future would be to reclaim and open up wasteland.

Fortunately, with a mouth full of fire bubbles that suddenly arose, and at the same time filled with a belly of grievances, Zou Guojian, who hurried to Huiyuan City according to the instructions of the headquarters, looked at Li Shixian, deputy director of the Northwest Military Administration and commander of the Northwest Agricultural Reclamation Corps, who had just taken office, and in front of Lin Fengxiang, director of the Northwest Military Administration and commander of the Northwest Military Region, and Zuo Zongtang, deputy director of the Northwest Military Administration and governor of Xinjiang Province, on a map covered with a large table. When he resolutely carved out a large area that should belong to him and his future 14th Agricultural Army, he was like a man who had not touched water for three days and three nights, and suddenly he got a cup of nectar, which was called a beauty

It turned out that most of the land reclaimed by him and his future peasant army was located south of the Ili Mountains, but now it was still trampled by the iron hooves of the Tsarist devils.

In this way, Zou Guojian and the officers and soldiers of the Red Fourteenth Army, who had more land of their own for the time being, could not be reclaimed, so they had to first be aggrieved in a narrow area south of Tusi Pond and Huba Seamount and north of the Tianshan Mountains.

In addition to resolutely cracking down on and suppressing some reactionary elements and scattered bandits by severe means, helping and supporting the people of all nationalities in this area, actively and swiftly establishing local political power, and truly realizing that the people themselves are the masters of their own affairs, it is also necessary to create a momentum for professional reclamation with great fanfare.

As a result, it was less than three months before the Red Fourteenth Army entered the reclamation area, and even the commander of the Omsk Reserve Corps, Konstantin? Petrovich? His Excellency Kaufman was well aware that in the city of Koshgar, which was actually under the control of the 14th Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only seventy or eighty miles from his former stronghold on the west bank of Tuschi, the very creative Red Army soldiers had not only built a "sizable" agricultural implem-making factory, but also such elaborate tools of agricultural production as hoes, pickaxes, sickles, shovels, and plows.

So much so that this Kaufman commander was depressed for a while.

Because he really couldn't understand how such an unscrupulous army could let their out-and-out professional army be defeated?

Of course, what Commander Kaufman didn't expect was that the "unprofessional" Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army opposite him, and there was also a commander named Zou Guojian who was "quite unprofessional". Because this commander of Zou Guojian actually abandoned his troops, quietly ran to Esi, six or seven hundred miles away, and went incognito to serve as an "assistant" for a commander named Zhu Xikun there for nearly a month.

In fact, Zou Guojian's doing this is by no means "not doing his job".

Lin Fengxiang, who fought for tens of thousands of miles and finally shouldered the heavy responsibility of recovering the entire northwest of the Celestial Empire, was very determined to recover the great rivers and mountains belonging to the people of the Celestial Empire as soon as he entered Huiyuan City in Yili.

However, the reality of the situation did not allow him to do so.

Not to mention whether the officers and men of the various units are very tired at the moment and whether they still have the ability to make persistent efforts, the question of food and grass alone is enough for him to have to stop for a while.

The whole of Xinjiang has been almost completely looted by the collapsed "Great Qing State" in the past few years, and the violent land* has made it even worse here. All agricultural and animal husbandry production has basically come to a standstill, the wasteland is boundless, and although the warm spring breeze has blown the green grasslands, under the blue sky, it is rare to see the white clouds of sheep and the horses running around.

The cruel reality of extreme poverty in Xinjiang has greatly increased the logistical supply pressure of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

Because for Lin Fengxiang, what he is facing is not only the problem of preparing his own food and grass for the nearly 200,000 Red Army troops of the Celestial Empire, but he also has to shoulder the big problem of how millions of impoverished Xinjiang people can overcome the difficulties in front of them.

Therefore, Lin Fengxiang showed great patience to those Tsarist ghosts who held high the banner of negotiation, he did not agree with the so-called negotiation terms proposed by the Tsarist ghosts, but he did not make any action that could make the Tsarist ghosts feel even a little uneasy.

As for the raid on Kaufman's battalion-level stronghold at the western foot of Kulongkui Mountain in May, it was not a signal that Lin Fengxiang felt that he was almost ready and wanted to start the last move against the Tsars.

You must know that in May, the only front-line troops of the Red Army stationed in southern Xinjiang that Lin Fengxiang could use in his hands were Zhu Xikun's Red Second Army. In northern Xinjiang, except for the Zou Guojian Department of the Red Fourteenth Army in the south of Ili, on the front of Ili, he only had two divisions of Dong Fuxiang and Qi Baoxiang of the First National Army.
